We're seeing a rather disturbing change in systems here. The disturbing part
may just be lack of understanding, but we're seeing machines change from having
the Windows Update service set as Automatic (Delayed Start) to Manual
(Triggered Start). So far my investigation has lead me to find that the
trigger is tied what appears to be a group policy event. Can anyone enlighten
me? This is the output from all the changed machines. They don't appear to be
version dependent so I'm leaning toward a possible Windows Update change. So
far my google-fu is only turning up explanations about what the configuration
means, nothing about when/why it might have changed.
